fuzzylizard Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Open a console and type this in to see if you have java already installed > java -version If you get anything other then an error, then you probably have it installed already. If you don't, I would head on over to the sun java website - www.javasoft.com - and download java from there. Are simply looking for the runtime environment - browser plugins, etc - or are you looking to do some java programming? There is a difference in what you download between those two. Visit the link below and you can download either the jre (java runtime environment) or the sdk (software development kit) for linux. (Third link down in the table) Once you make your selection you will need to accept their licensing agreement and you should see a link for instructions for installing the software. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html Hopefully this helps. Anymore questions just shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Searching the forums shouldn't be a last resort. That said, searching my tutorial page shouldn't be the last resort either... http://mdkxp.by-a.com/htm/tutorials/javarpm.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
